March 29th. That's the date. (UK release date)

Post by **Biccard** » 17 Mar 2012

I read that in the EU version of Homecoming, theres a hospital bed in the way when Holloway is drilling in your thigh so you can't see it and when she falls to the ground, the drilling machine is entirely missing, and generally it has much less blood that the US version. Can you confirm or debunk this, Fudgestix? I only have the US version as I said.

I'm afraid I never got very far with Homecoming, so I've no clue. Maybe another EU player might be able to help.

While I can't speak for the EU version, a quick look on youtube shows that what you've read is for the AUS version of the game. If you're curious to watch it:

Here's what I've been told. It's 29 March for mainland Europe and because major releases happen on a Friday in the UK, here it'll be the 30 March.

That comes from Konami's PR rep in the UK.

I'm almost thankful that it was released in the US before the UK as now that I've watched a walkthrough I know that I would have been sorely disappointed if I had paid full price for it on release day.
I'm going to wait until it comes down in price before I buy it.

So if I buy the american version, I'll miss out on european languages at most?
Thanks a lot foe the Youtube clip, Calamity

Any european gamers who can tell me if this is true to the EU version?

Kinda feels weird that Downpour has been released. After all of this waiting it's finally in the world haha. Shame I have to wait another 9 days before it's released in the UK. Here's hoping Game ship it early so I get it on Thursday...... And I have friday off work so that day will be spent with me playing Downpour all day!

Post by **RottenRat** » 21 Mar 2012

I went to a local store and had the guys there promise to give me a call the moment they have Downpour in stock, which they expect to be on the 29th or even the 28th, possibly. But I still live in fear of the release being postponed, yet again, haha. Some guy in this thread gave me a scare talking about the 6th of April.

Eh, I feel like the kid not allowed to go out until after dinner, while all the other children are having fun in the playground...

Haha sorry, didn't mean to scare you

But unfortunately that's what I've read. Although I read it on silenthill.wikia.com which is not always a reliable source, the date has to come from somewhere more reliable. My patience got used up today, and I bought the american version online, to get it before EU release, and to avoid any censorships that may appear. But I'm afraid the game doesn't arrive before european release, in which case I will be forced to wait another few days, which is exactly why I bought it in the first place

Aaah, you're doing it again!

Haha, but seriously, I hope that won't be an issue... As far as European editions go I only ever heard of censorship in Australia and occasionally Germany, and that's where HC got 'redesigned', at least to my knowledge. (Stupid practice anyway, if you ask me - it's not like the whole drilling scene was particularly gruesome in the first place).

Anyway, it would be very inconvenient for me if Downpour got pushed back even more here - I already have to avoid a number of sites and blogs I usually follow just cause many of the people there are SH fans and it's practically impossible to avoid accidental spoilers... I'm running out of slacker activities to indulge in at work...

Post by **Biccard** » 21 Mar 2012

Hahaha sorry. No need to worry though, cuz I think you are right about only Australia and Germany gets censored. But I own the US version of Homecoming, because it was released several months later in EU and I couldn't wait for that, so I have never tried the EU version. I just hope I get Downpour before EU release, otherwise I tricked myself into waiting another few days. But a good thing is, I saved 225 kroner (Â£25) by buying Downpour from the US. In Denmark where I live, Downpour is going to cost Â£61. What's the price in your country?

Post by **RottenRat** » 21 Mar 2012

I'm from Poland, a recently released game costs around 200 zloty here, so that would be about Â£40, or $60. You can get it a bit cheaper online. Doesn't sound too bad, but the downside is that games only go down in price after they've been out a really long time, so it'll probably still cost 200 this time next year... in the stores, anyway.

I'm just glad they'll be releasing Downpour in full-English here, because lord, did they ruin Deus Ex HR for me with their translation train wreck...

Eeek I hope they refunded you or a least shipped it anyway.

There's polish promo disks going on ebay for about 37 euro's http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Silent-Hill-Down ... 500wt_1361

Strangely the seller seems to only be selling promo disks of Konami games.

Post by **RottenRat** » 28 Mar 2012

Yes! Finally got it here on the outskirts of Europe... dodging spoilers left and right was becoming quite tedious. Now I'm just waiting till it gets dark to pop it in and try it out. Too bad tomorrow's a normal workday for me... but that's what the giant can of energy drink is cooling in my fridge for...

IMO I think a walkthrough just ruined it for you and is definatly not the same as playing on your tv with some sound cranked up plus nighttime playing is a rule for SH IMO

You should have rented it even instead you cant go wrong with renting LOL

I'm past the point of caring to be honest. Now that half the world and his fucking dog have already consumed it, digested it and are currently shitting out its contents all over this forum and everywhere else, I've rapidly lost interest in acquiring it at all.

They'll be lucky if I even bother renting it and where I live - the way it's going - there'll be no game shops left to even sell it at this rate.

Post by **vanbakura** » 01 Apr 2012

Interestingly, I have looked all over Glasgow and only one shop stocks this game. They have decided to charge Â£49.99 for it, since they are the only game in town (no pun intended). I think this game will just have to wait for the bargain bucket then.

Post by **Lumpyspace94** » 01 Apr 2012

I got my copy in Tesco's on Friday for 50 euro's. Started it yesterday and nearly at the end now I completely think it's worth it. I've been dodging spoilers sense it came out in the US. HD collection should arrive by post tomorrow I hope

You must get it! I've been looking forward to what the European members think of the game.

@lumpy: I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it.
